Present last summer, the ZENS Liberty opened its pre-orders with a little delay compared to what had been announced initially (November). But it is still better than Apple which has completely canceled the AirPower and the manufacturer plans to deliver its charging station as early as January 2020.
This new product is currently the closest to Apple's AirPower. The Liberty incorporates no less than 16 Qi charging coils, allowing you to place a device almost anywhere on the charging surface. Unlike the product designed by Apple, ZENS however limits the load on two devices, but with a maximum of 15W for each. An iPhone should charge its maximum in Qi, 7.5W.
Another limitation compared to the product thought Cupertino, AppleWatch can not be loaded directly on this product. On the other hand, ZENS has designed a small charging module which plugs into the side of the Liberty, and thus allows you to find the complete functions of the AirPower to charge an iPhone, AirPods and an AppleWatch. Count 40 for this module, in addition to the price of the charger.
The basic version, with support for AppleWatch in the corner.Two versions are available for the Liberty: a basic one, displays 140 and which presents a load surface covered with a black fabric. The other version goes up 180, with tempered glass which allows you to see the load coils. Except for this aesthetic difference, the two products are technically identical. ZENS systematically supplies a 60W charger and a USB-C cable woven with its product.
Delivery costs must be taken into account, height 8 for France (sent via FedEx).
MJ 03/01/2020 14:57: the first returns are very positive. The product seems to be working as expected and there is no a priori overheating concerns.
